Fantasy Tip: At this point in his career, Bourjos is more of a defensive specialist than anything else. Even when he gets back, he may struggle to find playing time with Aaron Altherr returning from injury. As a result, Bourjos will find himself on the bench more often than not when he's healthy again.

Philadelphia Phillies OF Peter Bourjos (shoulder) is likely headed to the disabled list due to his right shoulder injury Thursday, July 28. OF Aaron Altherr (wrist) is expected to be activated Thursday after completing a rehab assignment.

Fantasy Tip: Altherr is hitting .351 with a homer, five RBI and two steals in 37 at-bats in the minors. He's an attractive pickup in NL-only leagues because he figures to play a lot the rest of the way. As for Bourjos, the team was hoping to trade him to make room for Altherr. Either way, his playing time is likely to heavily decline the rest of the way. He can be dropped if you need the space in NL-only leagues.

Fantasy Tip: You're really trying to catch lightning in a bottle if you're looking for a basement play here. Paredes has the most upside because of his work in Baltimore last year. However, he has a .207-2-8 line in 82 at-bats. He faces lefty Adam Conley today and is the only of the three to have some fantasy merit.

Updating a previous report, Philadelphia Phillies OF Peter Bourjos (shoulder) does not have any broken bones in his shoulder after leaving the game Tuesday, July 26, due to an injury. He expects to miss a few days. "I jammed it pretty good," Bourjos said.

Fantasy Tip: Avoid him in all NL-only fantasy leagues that allow daily transactions and in DFS play until he can officially return and prove his health in a full game without any setbacks.

Fantasy Tip: Herrera has emerged as a solid fantasy option in all formats this season with 51 runs, 10 home runs, 33 RBI, 12 stolen bases and a .285/.369/.416 slash line. Goeddel is a desperation option in all fantasy settings given his .573 OPS for the season, but Bourjos could be a potential flier in daily contests Wednesday. Bourjos has an active 40-for-117 (.342 batting average) stretch at the plate since Wednesday, June 1.

Fantasy Tip: Altherr had a .232-5-22 line with six steals in 142 at-bats last season, but he's coming off of wrist surgery. Williams has a .289-8-44 line at Triple-A. Neither are projected to make huge impacts, but both are NL-only depth options if you're looking ahead for potential callups.

Fantasy Tip: Galvis has been hitting in the two-hole most nights, so moving down the lineup is a hit to his already limited fantasy value. Bourjos is nothing more than a depth option in cavernous mixed and NL-only leagues, but he could be worth a contrarian flier in daily contests because he's batting second Friday.
